Restore Product Keys of multiple machines after cloning

[Sai Kit Tong]

I have a few PC used to running XP professional license (XP SP1a). As all of
them are going to perform specific applications using same peripherials, I
try to clone them all of them from a single image. However, I didn't use
Sysprep before the cloning and all my cloning work was done. I just wonder
how could I restore the product key for each of those machines.
